Hitachi Talk Up Blu Ray Camcorder

More from CEATEC – Hitachi has made news by talking about making an HD camcorder with a Blu Ray optical disk inside within two years. They have a history of incorporating optical disk technology into cameras but don't have the market pressure to produce huge numbers.

The drive they are interested in doesn't exist yet as it is 4 cm smaller than standard but the design is on the drawing board. These 8 cm disks will still hold enough for an HD machine.
